I Can't Escape It!

If you have read my blog, you know that I am a firm believer in keeping the thanks in Thanksgiving; and that Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year! I don't listen to Christmas music, get out decorations, or really do much of anything "Christmas" until after Thanksgiving. HOWEVER.....For the last several days, I have been listening to my 2 oldest girls play the piano repeatedly; and guess what they have been playing....."Deck the Halls" and "Jolly Old St. Nicholas." What can I say....at least they are practicing. After hours upon hours of playing, I have found that I am able to tune it out a little (wink). At least I know we will have live and beautifully played music at Christmas.

About Me

Why I Think Out Loud...

I started journaling several years ago when I realized that I couldn't possibly remember every milestone, cute phrase, wonderful expression, heart tugging word or life changing action that occurs within my own family. I had to face the fact that my brain has become fuller and fuller with each baby born and each day that passes; and now it's overloaded. I find myself having to write down everything from a daily "To Do" list to much more important things like the first time my son kissed me on the lips. I don't want to take anything for granted and chance that I might not remember. I journal in a notebook, in my own handwriting, with the intent and hope that someday my sweet buttercups will cherish having these journals in their mama's own handwriting. I started this blog, because there are some things that are meant to be shared and some things that I hope someone will read and enjoy. Maybe I can learn something from a reader or two as well.
